Installing Training Setup
To install AVEVA E3D Training Setup, navigate to the directory C:\AVEVA\Plant directory and unzip the
training setup macros from the training setup zip file which is typically called:
TM-1800 AVEVA Plant Everything3D Training Setup Data - *.*.zip
This will create the following folders and sub folders under the directory:
C:\AVEVA\Plant\E3DTraining\Training
Admin
Global
mdspmllib
pmllib
pmlui
Project_Data
Project_Macros
Reports
testencrypt
userdata
Example Batch used during Admin Training

Example Global batch Files
Example macros used during MDS Admin Training
Additions / updates to the PML 2 Forms, Menus and Macros
Additions / updates to the PML 1 Forms, Menus and Macros
Reconfigure files used to populate the project
Example Macros used during HVAC Admin Training
Example Reports used Lexicon Training
Simple Macros used during PML Publisher Training in Admin
Training Example data files (Excel Spreadsheet)
It is important that the version of the Training Setup Macros matches the version of AVEVA Plant
Products being used as the training set up is frequently changed to reflect new features in the
product.
Add the following lines to the bottom of the custom_evars.bat file located in the Project directory typically
C:\Users\Public\Documents\AVEVA\Plant\E3D\Projects1.1.0. Make sure to leave a blank line at the
bottom of the file.

Creating an Empty Project
For each training course it is recommended that a new project is created using the Project Creation
Wizard. However, the Training Setup utility may also be used on an existing Training project. It is also
advised that the customers do not run the Training Setup on the AVEVA supplied sample projects such as
APS, ACP, etc.
3.1
Starting the Project Creation Wizard
Create a new project using the Project Creation Wizard by selecting:

Start > All Programs > AVEVA > Manage > Project Creation Wizard 1.1.0
Project Training
Code
TRA
Click the Project Variables... button to display the Project Variables form.
From the Variables list, tick
the TRADWG, TRAINFO,
TRAREPORTS and TRAPSI
options.
Click the OK button.

11
www.aveva.com

Click the Create button.
A progress bar is displayed at

the bottom of the form.
Click the OK button once the project has been created and then click
the Dismiss button on the Project Creation Wizard form.
3.2
Entry to an AVEVA Project
Enter the newly created Project via the AVEVA Administration shortcut:
Start > All Programs > AVEVA> Manage > AVEVA Administration
Enter the following data, to enter the
project:

CHAPTER 4
4
Setting up the Training Project
The AVEVA Plant Training Databases have been updated to make them more realistically reflect the way
databases are created on a real project.
In general terms, a typical AVEVA Plant project will have a database created per Discipline per Plant Area.
The project is made up of 4 Areas AREA01 - Stabilizer, AREA02 Buildings, AREA03 Process Area and
AREA04 Laser Area.
4.1
Training Setup Overview
The Training Setup creates all of the Users, Teams, MDBs, Databases, and default files. It has the ability to
create up to 26 sets of independent databases.
Some project catalogues require modification and are hence copied into the training project from the AVEVA
Sample project (APS).
The databases are recreated each time the trainer selects the option to create a project. Once the course
has ended, the project data can be deleted; this will delete all the databases that the training setup created.
The setup can be used on any Plant project providing the AVEVA Catalogue (ACP) and Sample (APS)
projects can be referenced.
The Training Project by default is Metric, with British Standard Steelwork, PSL Supports and Cabling using
Cableways.

4.2
Training Setup form
From the Admin main menu, Select Utilities > Training Setup to display the Training Setup form.
4.3
The Include Engineering Databases tick box is only active if the Schematics Directories
<project>dia, <project>ste and <project>tpl together with their associated environment variables
exist.
Training Setup Options
Depending on the type of course being run, the Trainer can configure the project to the customers training
requirement by changing the options that are available on the Training Setup and MDS tabs.
4.3.1
Training Setup tab

This tab displays Trainer with some
options to set up the Training Project.
The options are described as below.
4.3.1.1 Number of Designers

Whenever a Training Project is created the Number of Designers must be selected from the pull-down list,
the project can have up to 26 designers. The default is Unset.
14
www.aveva.com

4.3.1.2 Include Engineering Databases

The Training Project comes with a complete set of Engineering and Schematics databases for Area 01. The
data represents a working Projects integrated Dataset. These Databases are not installed as part of the
Plant Training Project. The default is False.
4.3.1.3 Cable Tray

By default all of the Cable Trays within the project are modelled using Cableways. Selecting this option will
create the project with Cable Trays modelled as PIPEs and BRANCHs. The default is False.
4.3.2
MDS tab
The Trainer should not need to change any of
these options unless it is a customer
requirement.
The Trainer may add MDS to any MDB or use
the default training MDBs providing the
required MDS environment variables are set.
The selected databases will be referenced/
copied into the current project. For example
database MDS/MDSAPPDEFAULTS, which is
the MDS configuration database, will be copied
into the project, whilst MDS/CATA the MDS
catalogue database will be referenced or
included (read only).
This is described in full in TM-1304 AVEVA Plant (12.1) Multi-Discipline Supports Administration.
4.3.2.1 Third Party Interfaces

These interfaces are customer specific and are supplied in separate databases. For example, CPL is
Carpenter & Patterson and this is a link to Witch Hanger. The default setting for third party interfaces is
None.
4.3.2.2 Hanger Templates

MDS is supplied with 3 standard Hanger templates in separate databases. The default setting for Hanger
Templates is PSL.
4.3.2.3 Steelwork Templates

MDS is supplied with 3 standard Steelwork Standards in separate databases. The default setting for
Steelwork Templates is BS.
4.3.2.4 User Define Ancillaries (MDU)

MDS can now have Piping Ancillaries created by users. The templates for these Clips are held in a several
MDU databases. The default setting for User Defined Ancillaries is Checked.
4.3.2.5 Copy MDS Defaults to the Current Project

The default MDS Auto naming file and the Draw AB ADP defaults can be copied to the current project
defaults directory, for example %tradflts% using this option. The default setting is Checked.

Creating the Training Project
In this chapter, the Trainer will create a Training Project for two designers.
5.1
Creating Training Project Data A Worked Example
Set the Number of Designers to 2.

Note that the Create Project Data button on
the form is now active.
From the main menu, select Display >

Command Window to display the
Command Window.
Click the Create Project Data button.
A progress bar is displayed, along with
textual feedback in the command window.
The Training setup switches between

several modules of all AVEVA Plant
Products in order to compile the project
data. This is done using the AVEVA Console
as shown.

17
www.aveva.com

Once the Project Data has been created the Trainer will be returned to the Admin session.
If for any reason an error occurs during the creation of the project a warning message will be
displayed.

The Delete Project Data can be used at the end of the Training Course to delete the Training Databases.
Note that the Reference databases are not deleted.
From the main menu select Utilities > Training Setup to display the Training Setup form.
To delete the Training Project, click the
Delete Project Data button on the Training
Setup tab.
A progress bar is displayed, along with

textual feedback if the command window is
open.
Once the Project has been deleted, the Admin module will display an empty project, as shown.
